Branco Vila Viçosa

also known as White Vila Vicosa, Estremoz White Marble, Alentejo White Marble

The white marble of the Estremoz-Vila Viçosa district in Alentejo — the same geological formation that produces Rosa Portugal and Azul Valverde, Portugal's celebrated marble triangle. Branco Vila Viçosa is the white variant: bright, fine-grained and crystalline, widely used across European luxury interiors as a competitively priced alternative to Italian whites.

Good to know

What is the Estremoz-Vila Viçosa marble district?

It is the most important marble-producing zone in Portugal and one of the largest in Europe, stretching across the Alentejo plain. It produces three celebrated marbles from the same geological anticline: Branco (white), Rosa (pink) and Azul (blue-grey).

How does Branco Vila Viçosa compare to Bianco Carrara?

It is slightly less white and crystalline than the best Bianco Carrara, with a warmer, creamier tone and less veining. It is generally more consistent in colour and competitively priced.
